Original artwork description:

"Always focused on the eye. I can't do otherwise. It acts like a magnet, it's more powerful than me. Although the eye are not the part the more expressive. We could talk about the ears, the nostrils, the body, or tail. But that eyes!

Even if we don't see in them all the possible expressions, in the eyes there are an another dimension. They are like a translucide ball, fantastically shiny and wet, they are the expression of the life.

I can say that because in my recently dead old mare, I saw nothing in her mi-closed eyes. It hit me as I used to draw them so alive! There were no life at all, no more shine, no more bright colors reflected, just a glass ball that we would have forgotten for several years in a corner. Lifeless, grey, pale. Without life anymore. These eyes was not my mare anymore.

Definitely, the eyes are linked to the soul. Only in them can we see all the kindness, the generosity, the fear, the strength, the anxiety, the calm or the determination… which they can demonstrate."
